that is our show. see you next week. ♪ gerri: hello, everybody. i'm gerri willis. tonight on "the willis report" damage control mode over obamacare as a new report shows six people signed up on day one. >> we do not have a reliable enrollment figure yet. gerri: also, the irs, what you need to know. and how do you do that? where parents need to draw the line with sharon. we are watching out for you tonight on "the willis report." ♪

gerri: all that and more coming up. first, the latest from los angeles and the shooting at lax which left one tsa agent dead and questions about airport security across the country. flights have been delayed and canceled as a result of the situation. officials at lax say all flights in and out of the airport are still delayed. with us now from a welcome back to the show. very good to see you. i read that the person responsible for this brought a rifle through a security checkpoint, which makes me wonder tonight even if the first tee off -- tsa officer to die in the line of duty today, are we safe? if you can bring a gun, and assault rifle through a security checkpoint, are we safe? >> well, he brought it to a security checkpoint, like a crowded shopping center just as easily. there is no defense against someone who was to blast his way through something.

police know that this is a crazy person, not a terrorist. i do not know how we can defend ourselves against that. i really don't. gerri: cold comfort because it is really just a road mafor a terrorist at the end of the day. lots of problems going on now with flights all over the country. how serious will this be? specifically, what kinds of additional security might there be in the days and weeks after this? >> let's remember, our base security threat is not at the security checkpoints were you and i go through but the back door of an airport. a terrorist would come in that way. going forward within 18 hours he will have everything back to normal. there will be some delays because airplanes are stuck in los angeles and again that the tomahawk to get people to chicago because it will be a ripple effect. it won't plummet the system, but it will be a problem. gerri: what about the security procedures? takeke longer to get through the

checkpoints? >> it should not because in this case it was someone who walked in the airport like you and i could. he just brought a gun and started shooting at the security checkpoint. they might pass laws to say you cannot have a gun in you can't have a gun and an airport. that is about the best we can do unless we want to put immunochemistry everybody who drives into an airport. gerri: i guess my question is more practical one, not about legislatively what might happen down the road. but tonight, tomorrow, over the weekend, over the holidays. will we see a more security minded tsa, a more security minded air personnel? >> that will be a good outcome if you can call one. we don't have that. people looking for things so much as we figure if they go through security and get

through, we are safe. that is not accurate. going forward there will be some fallout that will be positive, no question about it. gerri: i certainly hope that you are right. it is a tragedy. a scary situation, particularly for people who might be flying this evening. great to have you here. >> my pleasure. gerri: you know, it has been one month since the launch of the obamacare website, and every day we are learning more about how much of a message really is starting with the very first date. more on this, this dollar at the american enterprise institute. thank you for joining us tonight. you know, we get these astonishing numbers that really come from inside the administration, meetings between people involved with implementing obamacare that show that on the very first day of rollout there were only six people were able to enroll, which sounds more like a joke and reality, but it is reality. do you find that shocking? >> below i am astonished. everybody expected that there would be problems, but no one

doubt that the whole system was completely collapse. i mean, the fact is that this is not rocket science. there are companies such as health insurance that have been selling insurance over the internet for ten years successfully, but the government cannot seem to do it. gerri: here are some war room nos from the day after the launch. ongoing problems in my capacity and the website, director roman not working, viejo system not connecting, experience, one of the ig groups, creating confusion with credit check information. on and on the goes. six enrollments have occurred. the problem seems enormous degrees today at the white house did it white house spokesman could not even explained if that enrollment figure was correct.

they're grappling with the "tru unsuccessfully. >> the number probably is not correct. but so what if it is in our 15? it is still a complete failure. the fact is that they have a problem and they don't want to admit it. this is just a front end of the problem. this is the problem that the consumers are facing. what about the insurance companies that are getting that information? it is terrible. gerri: allow the bottleneck, is not to get on to the system, but once you get inside to figure out where you're going. the insurers and sell kinds of problems. want to talk to you about medicaid because nynex in people signing embargoing into medicaid is this the biggest bait and switch in our country's history? >> allow the people are surprised and shocked that they're being shattered into a program that does not -- let's

face it, medicaid is the ones that clogged the emergency room. a serious problem. the people they need the most up are not going to get it. gerri: i want to show you some number. 42,000 versus 6300 for private insurance. those numbers tell the story from the washington post. it is astonishing that this happened and now we are hearing from the senate finance committee chairman who is saying, hey, look, maybe the individual mandate should be delayed. this is important because he signed on to the plan and was one of the backers. now he is saying, let's delay the individual mandate. is that going far enough? >> no, it is certainly not. does not take away the damage that has already been done by the incredible regulations and

requirements that have been imposed on every insurer and every employer in this country. health insurance will be more expensive, more expensive for people who are getting their coverage through employer, and that means that we are putting more downward pressure on the economy. gerri: okay. i want to show you a couple at the folks from kaiser. 80 percent of americans rate federal implementation of obamacare negatively. 80 percent. 80 percent say it is not going well. westwood. >> well, that means that only 20 percent of americans are diluted enough to think that things are going okay in spite of the obvious facts. damaging to the presidentelt damaging to the democrats. in the next election, the midterm election next year are

likely to see an uphill struggle unless a miracle occurs and they solve their problems very, very quickly. gerri: more importantly a disaster for individual americans who might never thought they could get some good deal on the exchange. thank you for cing on. appreciate your time. >> thanks. gerri: but obamacare is dismal start is not going to stop the embattled health and human services sectary gates to from touting it. hitting the road again, this time in memphis, tennessee. >> reporter: good evening. hhs secretary kathleen sebelius and the obama administration continued to sell obamacare. numbers are released showing dismal enrollment figures. hours later the secretary ys in memphis at an enrollment center refusing to say whether the numbers are accurate. only that the administration has yet to establish an enormous number because the problems of this -- problems with the system
